Another Clipart Attempt... Need some honest feedback

Hey everyone,

So I have decided to try and make a few clipart images that I can use for some visual directions and other things.  As you will be able to tell, I'm new to this.  :)  I like to doodle for fun, so I thought I'd see if I could turn the doodles into something I could actually use.  Here are some of the images I've done so far...  I need some honest feedback! :)









Enjoy!

  1. I like all of them, except I'm not too crazy about the books. It just seems like it's missing something... maybe a 3-D effect like the notebook? Or maybe make the math book the same size as the English book?
    What program do you use to make your clip art? I was thinking about trying it out myself, but I don't know how I feel about paying $8.99 for iDraw... LOL I'm so cheap!

    1. Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it. The books do seem a little off compared the the rest of the set... I'll have to play around with it. I just started using Vector Magic to make my clipart. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't color the pictures in the program, I would have to color them then scan them and fix the color up in the program. And the fact that it a little expensive. But I got 50% off for being a teacher, which was awesome! You can try it out for free on their site. Let me know when you have some of your images up! I'd love to see them!

  3. I found your blog through a link from another blog. I like your clip art. I have been looking at publishing my own clip art, too! I love to doodle and I would like to share what I do with others. I read in your comments about the program you use. Have you tried anything since then (to add color)? I like the whimsy feel of your art and the proportions are good.

    1. Hey! What county do you teach in? It's always so fun to meet different teachers from all over on here.. but it makes it so much more fun when you meet one from the same state as you! :)

    2. I haven't tried any other programs yet to color my clipart... I am dying to get Adobe Illustrator but that is just sooo expensive. If you find any good programs for coloring clipart let me know!! :)
